Young Italian craftsman Daniele Mingardo started his career by helping out at his father’s metal workshop after school, Mingardo soon took over the eponymous business, adding new design flair. This brass bike stand, by designer Masanori Mori, is a fitting example of Mingardo’s sophisticated production.

From a simple but sturdy base, a single metal support curls up to accommodate the bike, and is topped by a discreet light: form and function go up a gear. You can get it here for 915€.
